Love dogs? Want to learn more about how to use social media to be part of the rapidly growing online pet community?

Head to Atlanta, Georgia, August 20-22 for BarkWorld Expo, a pet social media conference that claims to be “the only forum for pet parents, pet businesses and those interested in the pet community to come together to network, educate, collaborate and have fun all under one ‘woof’!” Here’s how the BarkWorld website describes the event:

The 2010 BarkWorld Expo is a social media event for pet owners that use Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other social media applications for their pets. It’s also for those pet owners that are either on the fence about social media or just interested in perusing an expo hall full of products and services for their pet. BarkWorld Expo will provide an avenue for the Social Media anipal beginners, experts, and the curious as well as an arrangement of pet vendors.

Yes, if you like words like “anipal” for animal and “woof” for roof, you’ll feel right at home. They speak Dogster language!

The three-day conference costs $129 for earlybirds, but hang on! If you are one of the first 20 people to leave a comment on this post that you will definitely attend this event (please use the word “definitely” or something similarly emphatic), Dogster (a sponsor of this event) will email you the code for a free weekend pass!
